Rihanna vs. Kelly Clarkson: 'Stay' Cover Wows Twitter, New 'R8' Album Collaboration? [WATCH]

Former "American Idol" sweetheart Kelly Clarkson recently covered Rihanna's hit single, "Stay." The 33-year-old songstress' powerful rendition almost outshines the original!

Clarkson's a master when it comes to performing such audience favorites. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the "Stronger" superstar explains:

"We do a fan request every show, letting someone in the audience pick a song for us to cover. It's a lot of fun for me and the band because the shows can become monotonous, and this keeps us on our toes."

What do MstarsNews readers think of Clarkson's gig at Pittsburgh's First Niagara Pavilion on Sunday (July 19)? Twitter's rather impressed:

@MichellePanzir: "Conclusion: @kelly_clarkson can sing any song better than anyone #slay #stay."

@scotty_13_: "Kelly Clarkson's cover of 'Stay' by Rihanna is next level, she really is the voice of the generation."

@ENERGY1037DS: "@KellyClarkson​ covers @Rihanna​ #Stay & we're still wiping the tears from our eyes. Brava! Bellicima!"

@junitedstates: "Awesome cover! #KellyClarkson tackles @rihanna's #Stay."

@bronxze: "Kelly Clarkson's Cover Of Rihanna's 'Stay' Will Give You Chills."

RiRi's currently revamping her entire new album (alleged entitled R8). Maybe the "FourFiveSeconds" beauty should plan a surprise collaboration with Clarkson? No matter what, she better hurry with the record's highly-anticipated (yet constantly delayed) release!

‏@HarloHaven: "I need that new Rihanna album like a drug. She gotta hurry the hell up and drop it."

@Whose_NELSON: "The only reason I was interested in Rihanna's new album was because I thought she was gonna be serious about it. *shrugs* oh, well..."

@fazeel__: "why hasn't rihanna dropped her new album yet I am getting anxious."
